Besides the National Front of Afghanistan, the National Coalition acted as the leading democratic opposition movement against the governments of Hamid Karzai[1][2] and Ashraf Ghani. Abdullah Abdullah was supported among others by the governor of Balkh province, Ustad Atta Mohammad Noor. Both Abdullah and Atta Noor derive from the Jamiat-e Islami like National Front of Afghanistan chairman Ahmad Zia Massoud and former intelligence chief Amrullah Saleh.
The coalition ended with the Taliban takeover of Kabul in 2021.
